New 1.1.3 Skill: Convocation

We're working on a couple of new skills for the 1.1.3 content update. One of them is called Convocation and is designed to teleport all of your minions to you and apply a heal-over-time buff to them. Click through for more information.

When designing this skill, we had the following goals:

To provide another way to heal minions, in addition to the current flask mod and totems that people use.

To allow situational recall of minions when it's strategically useful (for example, as a meat shield, or when you benefit from them being nearby).

As a solution for people to recover minions that are stuck behind terrain. While running a certain distance away from them will recall them, it's useful to have an on-demand way to do this.

To limit abuse cases by putting the skill on an eight-second cooldown. It's useful for the above reasons but doesn't allow you to teleport your minions to you every second.

To introduce this skill as soon as we could after the recent functional change to Smoke Mine.

1.1.3 will be ready for deployment in a couple of weeks. We'll post a more accurate timeframe and information about its other contents in the news between now and then.
